Do you need a passport to drive now?  I thought it was just for flights.

Rigorous academic research (five minutes on Wikipedia) tells me that passports are not required (merely recommended), but it looks like the alternative is state ID plus birth certificate (perhaps difficult for students to obtain within three days?).

One does need a passport to enter Canada these days, whether by car, boat, or plane.

Or an 'enhanced' driver's license for those states (e.g., Michigan) that offer them.

With brackets coming out in about 14 minutes I still cannot decide Plattsburgh or NYU from the East. NYU numbers are just better but I feel like the committee is going to have Plattsburgh in the field. Guess we will see!

I believe they mentioned on last night's projection that they knew  Plattsburgh was #2 and NYU was #4.

We have them in Delaware!  I think they're mandated nationwide now - so next time you get a renewal, you'll have one too.

No at large bids for the East region. St John Fisher has a great pool of teams. WPI, Sage, and Amherst. One of the most interesting pods in the bracket. Going to be a great tournament!

Poking holes is fine, but it's how it's said. Saying, "I don't think that would work because..." is better than, "why in the world would you do that..." I'm just saying... ???  ;D  :-X

This.  It really comes across as dismissive and like he is talking down to us little people.  Wouldn't you want to encourage some chatter and mock brackets on these boards?

And this isn't the only instance of that attitude permeating his comments.

I think you have to give credit to Dave...you didn't want to take Catholic!  ;D

You may want to take those things up specifically with Dave. On a day like today, he may not be patrolling this board.

Onward on, John Carroll

Lay off Dave. . . this is his busy time.  You don't expect great customer service at Toys R Us on Christmas Eve and you should not expect it from Dave on conference championship/selection show weekend.

Quote from: bopol on March 02, 2015, 10:38:19 AMI was just giving you a little stuff since Dave McHugh was obnoxious with me after I posted an initial bracket Saturday night at 1 in the morning, despite no attempt coming from the professionals that run the site to create their own projection. 

Creating a professional projection we want to put our name behind takes hours and hours of work -- we don't just slap stuff together and post it on a message board.

And unlike you, we don't have the luxury of doing just one. If we do one for men's, we have to do one for women's basketball. It just isn't feasible. We each have a lot of other responsibilities on the site as well. I'd love to be able to do more projections but it just really isn't in the cards for us these days.  :-\

Gee Pat, why are you being so thin skinned on this?  After all, I didn't do anything different than what your staff did to me.  Maybe you should toughen up a little.
